INTERESTING LETTER FROM AN OLD
RESIDENT.
Editor SITTER: South London
derry is my native place. Twas born
there the 10 day of July 1907. My
father lived in log house that stood
between the brick house and the high
barn at the foot of the hill, where
there was a shed once but can't
say it is there yet, but was the last
time | was there, | think. | can re-
member distinctly when there was a
hemlock tree lay as it fell right
across the ground that that brick
house stands on, and | remember
well when Simeon Leland built the
first house on that spot. 1t was two
story with lean-too on the north
side for store. He kept store in it.,
but he kept store in the first place in
small building which stood a little
nearer the street, running up and
down the river, than the brick house,
about in the door yard of that house.
| remember well when they moved it
down the river over the dug-way hill
to the lower end, for a shoemakers
shop. Scion Hoskins lived there and
had it for shop and the last saw
of it, it stood beside the fence just
above the town hall towards the mid
die of the town. One thing more,
there used to be shop on the hill
near where the brick church stands
now, where a man made wrought
nails. Now if you can find any one
who can remember things back of
that | should like to know who they
are. John Whitman would come the
nearest to it Of any one | can think
of, but he is not quite as old as | am,
| think. | should like to know if
Roxana Aldrich Day, is still living
and if her first husband, John Day,
is living, if so | would like there adj
dress. He was friend of mine
when boys, and RoXana was a school
mate of mine. She was sister to
Jairus, who died last winter or fall.
| learned when he died that there was
but three left of the family, two sis
ters and one brother, but one brother
has turned up since.
